"login Window Starting"

[bbogdan]

Hello,

I had installed on my G3, MacOS 10.2. Recently, I upgrated the system to MacOS 10.3.
The problem is that each time the system is booting, it freezes on the message "Login Window Starting". I have searched on internet and I have applied 3 methods:

1.
- booting in "Single Mode" - (command + s)
- /sbin/fsck -fy (until the message "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" appears)
-reboot

2.
- booting in "Single Mode" - (command + s)
- /sbin/fsck -fy (until the message "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" appears)
- /sbin/mount -uw /
- rm /Users/myUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
- rm /Users/myUserName/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
- rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
- rm /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
-reboot

3.
- booting in "Single Mode" - (command + s)
- /sbin/fsck -fy (until the message "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" appears)
- /sbin/mount -uw /
- sudo ln -s
/System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/BootCacheControl /usr/sbin/
- reboot


Neither of these 3 methods solved the starting problem.
There is another method I found it - to remove the font caches, but I do not know how to applied it...

I tried to reboot from a CD-ROM, but it seems that it is not mounted. Any time I insert a CD-ROM, in 3 seconds it is automatically ejected. (even when I hold down the C key at start up).

Do you see any solutions? I spent already 2 days on this problem...

Thank you?
Bogdan
